Bedtime Yoga

A good day begins the evening before. Introducing a regular routine of selfcare before going to bed helps to reduce your stress levels at the end of the day. It is best to practice this yoga sequence before going to bed to release any suppressed energy and tension. Focusing your attention on calming breath work will steady and relax the mind. Be gentle and be kind to yourself.

The Bedtime Tea for anyone who wants to gently round off their day. A good day begins the evening before, especially when we enjoy a fragrant cup of YOGI TEA® Bedtime at the end of the day to help us relax.
